Totally but South Africa can't be impressed with the UAE going for this long, UAE should have got half a point for that (now that it's over)

Could Bangladesh and NZ be in the final together? I couldn't handle that  It's needs to be one of those teams and then a team I don't like. Australia will do.

Great now Warne is going to go on a 30 minute tirade about how Australia were cost a wicket because of heavier bails.

I'm only streaming it through a TV card and VLC at work but the audio of the ball cracking off the bat sounds magical. Has Adelaide oval always sounded like this or have I just noticed today?

What I don't get is that I've never heard a commentator lay into him. No one calls him out as crap. They'll occasionally say he has to improve but I want truth bombs.

e: ^^^ not really, he's saying that it was that close. Not like earlier in the game when a direct hit barely beat the batsman to the line of the stumps let alone the crease. There is throwing to the keeper, and throwing at the stumps.awesmoe posted:400 still on?

The Biscuit posted:I guess fair play when fielding but I was taught to not worry about it hitting you (batting). It hurts but this is the highest level. He seems more scared than anyone I have watched I once arrogantly let a ball whack into my upper thigh because I was too indoor-cricket minded and just let a legside ball go. I reckon my teammates sitting in the shed heard it slap into my leg, and the entire slip cordon cringed (and then laughed). It left a black bowling ball mark on my thigh for a week.

Burn Down Canberra posted:I don't think it was a blatant drop. I think he's probably got some of his fingers under the ball but I couldn't say for sure if it also hit the grass. You guys are acting like it clearly bounced in front of him are honestly crazy. There needs to be a balance against "It clearly bounced off his fingers that was absolutely out" Warne, maybe.

Windmill Hut posted:"queensland viewers, if you want to stay tuned to the cricket, switch to GEM" During the Ch 9 news in SA they described it as the third most watched sports event ever, or something. Meanwhile, if you actually wanted to loving watch it literally as they said this, you had to be on GEM, because they couldn't go without "South Aussie with Cosi" or whatever the gently caress idiot show they simply had to show along with the 30 minute news.

Seeing as this game is nearly done and I don't know when there will be a chance to mention it again I just wanted to make the observation that Shane Warne is an insufferable oval office.

RideTheSpiral posted:This channel 9 coverage is some of the worst poo poo I've ever seen. I literally can't believe my ears. I keep wanting to bitch about it every day of every test because it's just so intolerable every time but it's like they're going all out today loving hell. If it's not endless bullshit about a Beatles photo or something in the crowd or loving BATS or whatever it's insane hyperbole about the current shot or the godlike skill of whichever Australian player scratched their nuts better than anyone has ever scratched their nuts before. Also I truly, honestly wish cancer on the creator of that Alliance ad and the rest of their family. I cannot stress to you how serious I am.

They weren't accidentally showing the wrong ball were they? That looked a lot like the challenged decision. Alternatively the batsmen didn't know how high Hawkeye showed the first challenge bouncing.

Burn Down Canberra posted:Warne isn't wrong but he is so annoying about it Sure, but his signal-to-noise ratio is so ridiculously bad that the times he speaks the truth or makes a decent point are no longer relevant. I tuned out the content of his blathering long ago, so it's merely the tone and constant presence of whatever he is driveling about that is driving me to start a Kickstarter to have him killed.

Hopefully Morgan scores 150 and they get home because gently caress Australia. Commentary is a loving breath of fresh air. Forcing myself to stay awake just to listen to commentators who aren't afraid of silence and just let the game play.
